Strategy Overview

Solrock's mediocre base stats and common weaknesses leave it unable to shine in NU. It is mostly outclassed by fellow Rock-types Golem and Regirock, which are stronger and bulkier. However, some perks do give Solrock a niche; it is best used as a dual screens user on hyper offensive teams, being one of the few Pokemon that can set up screens and Stealth Rock. Alternatively, Solrock can be fit onto teams that want to take advantage of its typing and Levitate to check top threats including Charizard, Kangaskhan, and Tauros, in addition to useful moves such as Will-O-Wisp and Morning Sun.
